This is the most ridiculous take I've seen all year. South Asia is an established geographical-cultural term that includes the two largest countries in Southern Asia - India and Pakistan.

It is not "established" at all. No one calls their restaurant "South Asian", it is always Indian/Pakistani.

"South Asian" = > Racist and Hindu-phobic is the established norm.
